Kendrix Origin and Meaning

The name Kendrix is a boy's name meaning "royal ruler, champion; home ruler".

This modern mash up of Kendrick and Hendrix felt almost bound to happen. Perfect for parents wanting something cool and contemporary but also familiar, Kendrix has in fact been quietly used since the 70s. Given to around 110 babies in 2023, the increased popularity of the name is likely owing to rock musician Jimi Hendrix, rapper Kendrick Lamar, and (female) Power Ranger, Kendrix Morgan.

Kendrick derives from the Welsh Cynwrig meaning "champion", the Anglo-Saxon Cyneric, meaning "royal ruler", and the Scottish and Gaelic surname, MacEanraig, meaning "son of Henry", or "son of the home ruler". Hendrix meanwhile comes from Hendrik, a variation of Heinrich and Henry, again meaning "home ruler", so it might make most sense to associate this hybrid name with this meaning in particular.
